AI at Work: Why GenAI is more likely to support workers than replace them

This report by Indeed Hiring Lab explores the impact of AI on the labour market, finding that out of the more than 2,800 work skills assessed, none were deemed "very likely" to be replaced by GenAI and the majority (69%) of skills assessed were "very unlikely" or "unlikely" to be replaced by GenAI. The research shows that in jobs with a high share of skills that require hands-on execution, GenAI could help workers to refocus on the core skills necessary in these roles. In more hands-off, stereotypical “office jobs,” GenAI may potentially be able to obtain the same level of knowledge and be able to solve modest problems at a level similar to an early-career professional. It highlights that while GenAI is highly unlikely to take a person's job, a person who knows how to use GenAI productively almost certainly will.
